Hi all,
I tried to run the SchemaExport utility to generate the SQL schema. When I run that using
C:> java net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport Player.hbm.xml Team.hbm.xml

It generated the schema in the data base successfully. However I wanted to get the schema genarete SQL statements to a file. Therefor I tried to use the command with -output option as follows;
C:> java net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport -output="C:\hibernate-2.1\hibernate_introMyschema.sql" Player.hbm.xml Team.hbm.xml

However now I'm getting the followin runtime error. Where have I gone wrong? Thanks in advance.

remove the =

I managed to resolve the issue myself by typing --output rather than -output

i.e it resolved when typed as follows;

> java net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport --output=C:\hibernate-2.1\hibernate_introMy\schema.sql Player.hbm.xml Team.hbm.xml

Thanks

arh yes - the double -- :)

too tired today
